OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to
create a residential charging system for
an electric vehicle that employs OffGrid Photovoltaic System as the Power
Source for Charging. The Goal is to
charge a BMW i3 Electric Vehicle once,
so that it can run for 50 miles per day
with two days autonomy.
